[Mimedefang] Bodyless messages

[David Erickson]

Are you sure you are receiving them empty? I found that
remove_redundant_html_parts (or whatever that function is actually
called).. Was removing the html part of an email that a plain text part
and an html part.. The only thing was the plain text part of the email was
blank and had no content and the html part was where the spam was.
